Lock in a great price for Portola Hotel & Spa – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

one staff (registration clerk) was exceptionally helpful - concierge not so much room was a little warm during the night - no A/C (shouldn't need it but it got warm and stuffy)

Donald, United States of America

Great location. But unfortunately room smelled of smoke badly. We could not change on arrival - unless we wanted room with a view to the construction. Once this construction is over, I believe it will be better. Bed is very comfortable. Swimming pool and hot tub excellent. Too pricy for what you get...

Christina, Denmark

Perfect view, short walk from warf, bed was amazing and private patio was perfect!

Lisa, United States of America

It is a very nice hotel within walking distance to downtown, the warf, cannery row, the aquarium, etc. Nice restaurants, bar, etc on site.

Christi, United States of America

Spacious, modern bathroom and very comfortable beds. Excellent location, very walkable to sites, shopping, dining.

Sally, United States of America

Great location, excellent facilities and family and dog friendly. Our room was very clean, spacious and comfortable in a nautical style with an amazing view from our balcony. We requested a portable crib (pack n play) and microwave in the room for the baby and he slept very well in the crib. Cookies and later check-in (noon) are all a nice touch. Wi-Fi was temporarily free due to the construction. Parking is $23/day but you can park across the street at Downtown East garage for $7/day. You have to pay everytime you leave that garage so it only makes sense if you're not driving in and out all day, but given the proximity of the hotel to everything, we walked everywhere. The restaurant in the lobby (Jack's) was very kid friendly bit we still felt like adults eating there. Great place all around if you don't mind splurging on the cost or can find a good deal!

Family, United States of America

Location was perfect. Walking distance for some of the best restaurants in the downtown area. A short drive to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Lee, United States of America

Good location: The hotel was near Fisherman's Wharf and the waterfront in Monterey—a very central location. The rooms were large and very nicely decorated.

Anne, United States of America

Great location, helpful staff, good facilities, stylish clean rooms, free wifi

Andy, United Kingdom

Location is great, right next to fiahermans wharf and very central to all other sights. Room was comfortable. Staff are friendly.

Lor_os, Ireland

Great location!

눉We should have been warned about the construction. There should have been additional measures taken to ensure construction did not interfere with sleeping - lights were left on all night. Other guests were extremely loud, letting their kids run up and down the halls. This is not the hotel's fault, but there has to be something that can be done about it.

눉It was probably the worst room at the Hotel. Coulldnt open our door to balcony to get fresh air. Construction workers right under our room and the seagulls screaming a dusk and at dawn. It was so loud it sounded like someone screaming at the top of there lungs. We were sweating in our beds every night because we had no fresh air and no air conditiong. We were there for my daughters B-Day. There were 3 of us and the room was set up for 2. 2 robes 2 coffee cups you get the idea.will never stay there again. We paid 547.66 for 2 nights. It should of been perfect. It was not even close to perfect. I feel Embarrased I took my 2 daughters to this place. We all came tired and we should of come home relaxed.!!!!Joan in Lafayette CA our room would have been more , they took off the self parking fee. Big Deal!!!!!!!
눇It was clean and nice bedding

눉I booked an Ocean View room which was a premium price above a standard. Less than 10% of the view I could see was ocean. The rest was mostly a metal building across the street. I felt ripped-off. I was really looking forward to a great view. The hotel parking lot was very difficult to find the entrance to due to construction and poor signage.
